Crocus Soundware releases "Liminal: Zephyrian Brass" for Kontakt

Crocus Soundware has released Liminal: Zephyrian Brass for Kontakt, a sample library featuring trumpet, trombone and valve trombone. They say:

This is a library of intimately recorded Trumpet, Trombone and Valve Trombone samples, with articulations that are aleatoric, long and evolving. This library focuses on capturing a wide dynamic range of the instruments, highlighting the uniquely varied timbres hidden within those dynamics. Notably, so-called 'whisper tones' were recorded – a difficult technique where the performer uses highly-controlled breaths to produce tone that barely activates the instrument's resonance. The result is a fragile sound that teeters between breath and pitch. This technique evokes a warm and airy reed-like character from the instrument.

The user-interface allows articulations to be layered, mixed and reversed and our 'crossfade gizmo' allows artful blending of sound layers with fun and intuitive color-coded controls.

Features:

• Made for the full version of Kontakt 6.8 or higher (Not intended for Kontakt Player).
• 3.34 GB samples Uncompressed.
• Includes sample sets of both ensemble and solo performances.
• 12 Core Articulations.
• Dozens of Snapshot Presets.
